Exported single tracks only playing through left side? Help!

[Dazbot]

Hi there, I produce voiceovers and I often have to record multi tracks (in multitrack) and then export them as seperate files.

However, when I export each single track, the resulting file only plays back through the left channel (speakers and headphones).

Infuriating!  I know I'm being an idiot ha ha I've tried everything.

Anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated.

Are these mono files, or two identical mono tracks in a stereo file?

Hi there generally they are mono recorded vocal tracks.  here's a screenshot of this particular session.

Track one plays fine through both sides in multitrack and waveform.

If I open it in waveform and 'save selected' it comes out fine.

If I try and export the track from multitrack view the resulting file just plays left.

basically I solo the track and 'export mixdown'  so should work?

If you export the mixdown (which is stereo in your screenshot) and you've panned the track hard left, then it will only come out of the LHS. Can you grab a screenshot of the Export dialog panel?

here you go

If you have exported a mono file, and it's only playing through one channel, then this indicates a monitoring issue rather than an Audition one. IIRC there was in the past a metadata issue that could cause this to happen, but I don't think that happens now, and certainly not by default. Worth looking in Preferences>Audio Hardware settings and making sure that everything's as it should be there...

Thanks!

Will have a check...
